Warning signs in Lemmon trees include large dead branches, mushrooms or conks at the base (root rot indicators), bark falling off in sheets, hollow trunk cavities, sudden lean or recent root disturbance, and significant crown dieback.

Sometimes. Trees with structural defects (weak unions, codominant stems) on otherwise healthy specimens may be saveable with cabling and bracing. Trees with root rot, hollow trunks, or significant crown dieback usually cannot be safely saved. B. Haney and Sons Arborists arborists in Lemmon make honest recommendations — sometimes saving the tree, sometimes recommending removal.
Standard homeowner policies in South Dakota usually do not cover removal of hazardous trees that have not yet failed. They cover removal AFTER the tree falls on a structure. Some policies cover hazardous tree removal if the tree is imminently threatening insured structures. B. Haney and Sons Arborists can document the hazard for Lemmon insurance claims, but coverage decisions are between you and your carrier.
Our Lemmon arborists assume hazardous trees may lose pieces unexpectedly during the takedown. We use crane support to pre-load sections before cutting, smaller sections than a healthy tree would require, redundant rigging tie-ins, and ground crew positioning that keeps everyone clear of potential failure zones. Slow and methodical is safer than fast.
